Salem hires Gibson‑Thomas for traffic‑signal repairs after accidents; $12,000 fee cap
Summary
The board approved a proposal from Gibson‑Thomas Engineering to provide bidding and construction services for repairs to two State Route 22 signal locations with a fee limit of $12,000; local volunteer fireman recommended an added advanced warning message for safety.
The board voted to approve a proposal from Gibson‑Thomas Engineering to handle bidding and construction services for repairs to the traffic signals at State Route 22 & Hollywood Boulevard and at State Route 22 & Route 819. The contract includes a total fee limit of $12,000; the firm will not exceed that amount without written authorization from the township.
Supervisor Ken Trumbetta noted a problem with an advanced warning light that was not functioning due to accident damage; Forbes Road volunteer fireman Adam Bayura suggested a screen‑style warning that displays "red‑light ahead" before the signal changes to amber, citing similar devices in Blairsville. The motion passed unanimously.
